Abstract excerpt
The MIP1 gene which encodes yeast mitochondrial DNA polymerase possesses in its N-terminal region the three motifs (Exo1, Exo2 and Exo3) which characterize the 3'-5' exonucleolytic domain of many DNA polymerases. By site directed mutagenesis we have substituted alanine or glycine residues for conserved aspartate residues in each consensus sequence. Yeast mutants were therefore generated that are capable of...
